Teaching independence and self-sufficiency is the goal of parenting. Unfortunately, many of our Robyne’s Nest students are homeless or unsupported. At Robyne’s Nest it is our priority to provide the hands-on assistance our students need to become self-sufficient. This can involve teaching the students to drive, how to complete their tax forms, how to repair and maintain a bike (the means of transportation for many of them), or helping them find safe housing.

Robyne’s Nest recognizes our volunteers are essential in achieving the goal of helping underserved youth. This month Linda Kannow has been selected for our monthly Volunteer Highlight series. Linda has been a volunteer at Robyne’s Nest since 2018 and comes well-qualified! After a 20-year career in education as a teacher, mentor, and finally as an administrator she is a true advocate for students.

Teen Dating Violence can affect any teen, no matter their skin color, foster/non-foster, family income, sexual preference, etc. Teens who have had abuse/trauma, no positive role models at home, or low self-esteem looking for attention are extremely vulnerable to teen dating violence. On the flip side, the abuser has likely been abused or neglected themselves or lived in an environment that exhibited the abuse. No teen is less or more worthy than another when it comes to this topic...awareness, prevention and help for the victim and abuser, once it's discovered, are a must to stop it before adulthood. Be an advocate, bring awareness, know where help is. Click here for an excellent video on Teen Dating Violence: https://youtu.be/VuMCzU54334
